Takehisa Yumeji Painting Collection - 竹久夢二画集

A collected volume of Yumeji's paintings — "竹久夢二画集" — is represented in this print either as a cover design or as a reproduction from the collection, the format situating the image within Yumeji's prolific career as a commercial illustrator and published visual artist. Yumeji's published collections were central to his cultural impact: it was through illustrated books and magazines that his distinctive style reached the widest audience, shaping the visual culture of the Taisho era in ways that museum prints alone could not have achieved.
